Only I don't want to be misrepresented here, I mean it. Fuck all authority. It is inherently false.

Obama spends his day before inauguration helping to paint some walls inside a home for struggling teens in Washington DC. Obama wants to let everyone know there will be no slackers on his watch. Everyone needs to chip in and work together. Notice all the windows have bars on them.

It follows with his theme that we have become a country of slackers and very few people take accountability for their own lives. A good place to start are with the youth of this country who have been notorious for not taking accountability for their own actions/lives. They tend to blame their parents and authority figures for anything and everything bad that bestows them. Look around this web site, for example, and many others and you will see very little accountability for where they are today in their lives. Most blame their families or staff at school. Very few talk about how their actions helped to get them where they are today. Visiting a home for struggling teens is a good place to voice this message and help to get kids back in control of their lives and responsible for the consequences.

Stick around then. You might change your mind. I agree that the government should not be a nanny state. I tend to believe that disreputable schools and the corrupt educational consultants who promote them are better held accountable by the public. What your doing is blaming the victim. In your mind, none of us here were ever abused in programs and we're 100% responsible for where we are in live today (regardless of how well we are doing). This is an absolutist point of view that's not based in reality. If I punch you, are you responsible if you bleed? People are neither powerless nor all powerful over their lives. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
If you'd like to see some of my work, check out http://www.michaelcrawfordportfolio.com/ . Download my resume if you feel like it. As you can see, i'm no failure, and neither are many (if not post) on this site. Many of us have succeeded in spite of the dire "dead in sane in jail" predictions of programs.
